<h1>Properties and Formatting dialog box: Number</h1>
<p>You can specify a number format for text in a text field using the following 
 Number options in the Properties and Formatting dialog box:</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: The Number options are 
 displayed only if a text field is selected.</p>
<p>When you select one of the number format options, an example of the 
 number category and additional options are displayed on the right. For 
 example, you can choose to display numbers as currency and also determine 
 the number of decimal places for the values. </p>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Default</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">General</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Fixed</B></span>: If you 
 select Fixed as the category, you can determine the number of decimal 
 places to be displayed, whether you want numbers to be separated every 
 three decimal places, and whether negative numbers are allowed.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Currency</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Date</B></span>: If you 
 select Date as your category, you need to choose which date Type to use, 
 such as 4/12/07, April 12, 2007, 4/7/2007, and so on. </p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Time</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Percentage</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Fraction</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p class="whs2">Scientific</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Custom</B></span>: Define 
 your own custom number format if none of the existing formats meet your 
 needs. To do so, enter the number formatting symbols, such as 123,456.789.</p></li>
</ul>
<p class="whs3"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 Once you create a custom format, you can use it in other metrics as well 
 by clicking <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Custom</B></span> in the Category 
 list and selecting the format from the Custom drop-down list. </p>
